THE BIG PICTURE

Trump’s Health Data Grab: Big Tech, AI, and the Centralized Medical Surveillance State No One Asked For (VIDEO) – “Trump admin’s new ‘Next-Generation Digital Health Ecosystem’ hands your medical data to Big Tech, accelerating AI surveillance of Americans.” – Jon Fleetwood

The data freaks are moving in for the kill – ““Monitor wellness?” Really? And guess who was sitting next to Trump when he made this announcement? Kennedy. Privacy concerns? Don’t worry. Your medical records will only be shared with Big Tech.” – Jon Rappoport

The New Gulag: Mental Health Detentions and the Criminalization of Dissent – “The government’s war on homelessness—much like its war on terrorism, its war on drugs, its war on illegal immigration, and its war on COVID-19—is yet another Trojan Horse. First, President Trump issues an executive order empowering federal agencies to clear out homeless encampments and lock up the homeless in mental institutions using involuntary civil commitment laws intended for dealing with individuals experiencing mental health crises. Days later, a gunman allegedly suffering from a mental illness opens fire in New York City, killing four before turning the gun on himself. Coming on the heels of Trump’s executive order aimed at “ending crime and disorder on America’s streets,” the shooting has all the makings of a modern-day Reichstag fire: a tragedy weaponized to justify allowing the government use mental illness as a pretext for locking more people up without due process.” – John & Nisha Whitehead

It’s a Big, Beautiful Club, and You Ain’t in It ( with VIDEO) – “Plato’s Propaganda Cave: Episode 1” – Margaret Anna Alice  – GOOD ONE FROM MAA!!!!!!!!!!!!

Stop renaming things that already exist; you’re just feeding the algorithm – “As a society, when we label and optimize every human instinct for social media and commodification, we invite the system to score, track, and eventually override us.” – Collapse Life

Rep. Greene Introduces Clean Skies Act Banning Weather Modification, Geoengineering – “The bill, designated H.R. 4403, would prohibit weather modification through the use of geoengineering, cloud seeding, and solar radiation management through the release of chemicals into the atmosphere to change the weather, temperature, climate or to block out sunlight.” – AG Staff  – YOU GO GIRL. GOOD JOB MTG. THEY ALSO NEED TO BAN ANY TYPE OF CHEMICAL DISPERSIONS, SUCH AS VACCINATIONS AND NOT JUST WEATHER MODIFICATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AI for Dummies: AI Turns Us Into Dummies – “AI breaks the connection between learning and completing an academic task. With AI, students can check the box–task completed, paper written and submitted–without learning anything. And by learning we don’t mean remember a factoid, we mean learning how to learn and learning how to think.” – Charles Hugh Smith

A Lame-Duck Donald Needs to Act – “Without understanding who Donald Trump is, the world remains opaque. Without understanding the Turkey/Erdogan role, there is confusion. Without understanding that elites have to protect their own lives at the expense of citizens—realty remains hidden. This is not the Trump we voted for. He announced he is done talking with Putin and will only talk with Xi if Xi invites him. So much for diplomacy and peace. Trump’s concern for killings is hypocritical. Erdogan’s another Trump—a bit more savvy. Possessing the largest military in the region, Erdogan wants to re-establish the Ottoman Empire, which, compared to Netanyahu plans, makes Greater Israel look like a parking lot. Erdogan wants to open a corridor between Iran and Armenia, leasing it back to Armenia for 99 years, cutting off Iran from Russia. With this Turkish-inspired corridor, Erdogan shows unconcern for the region, playing off one-side against the other. With his mission, he remains in NATO, while seemingly supportive of Palestinians and Russia” – Erik @ neverhadaboss.com

Can the President Impose Taxes? – Judge Andrew P. Napolitano

Fact Checking Brennan and Clapper – “The criminals make a public defense. There’s a bit of audacity in that effort – those who twisted and manipulated the evidence to help manufacture the Trump/Russia hoax are now here to speak truth to power. And their piece deserves review.” – Techno Fog.

New Whistleblower Report Drops as Pressure Mounts in Russia Case – “How many intelligence chiefs fit in the back of a Volkswagen?” – Matt Taibbi

In what world is Eric Holder’s opinion on the ‘politicization’ of the DOJ relevant? – “Eric Holder was the United States attorney general from 2009 to 2015, and referred to himself as Barack Obama’s “wingman.” Now, he is whining that the suddenly “politicized” Justice department will cause people to die, without giving examples. (Democrats always claim Republican policies cause massive deaths.) Holder is also saying that the agency won’t have time to go after political corruption as if he, Lorretta Lynch, or Merrick Garland ever cared about political corruption:” – Jack Hellner

Hochul’s Bizarre Claim About Alleged Shooter’s Carry Permit Gets Much-Needed Fact-check – “We’re seeing a lot of bizarre and ignorant takes right now regarding the shooting in a Manhattan office building earlier this week. Four people are dead, including one police officer, and all most people seem to care about is the weapon the alleged killer used.” – Tom Knighton

WAR PHASE OF THIS FOURTH TURNING HAS ARRIVED – “Based on what I’ve witnessed over the last several months, I would change the line to “the world is staged”. This really came into focus during the Israel – Iran dustup several weeks ago. The entire episode had a theatrical vibe to it, with Israel assassinating key military leaders and the top nuclear scientists of Iran, while both sides launched missiles at each other for a week or so. What passes for war these days is now missiles and drones lighting up the sky for TV cameras while inflicting relatively moderate damage and few casualties. Only Putin seems to understand wars are won on the ground, with armies destroying the enemy in brutal bloody combat. Netanyahu will stop at nothing to instigate a WW3 scenario with Iran, creating the conditions which would “force” Trump to engage our military, compelling Russia, China, Turkey and the rest of the Middle East to become involved. The masses have been lulled back to sleep with the Epstein and Obama narratives being flogged by our overlords, but a Middle East and possibly global conflagration is only a few missteps or miscalculations away.” – Jim Quinn  – GOOD READ FROM JIM AS USUAL!!!

Gaza Humanitarian Foundation partner endorsed Hitler, called Muslims ‘rapists’ and Palestine a ‘shit hole’ – Jack Poulson

Gaza – abandoned by the world (VIDEO) – “In these two reports I cover Gaza and the Zionist-enforced famine, supported by the lies and hypocrisy of Western regime and the indifference of the non-aligned Axis to the plight of Gazans – left to starve until they die or are bombed. There is no justice in the world today, relying on governments to end the genocide is a hiding to nothing. Resistance is the only way forward.” – Vanessa Beeley

Germany takes on aggressive new role in NATO, asks Washington for Tomahawk missiles capable of striking Moscow within 10 minutes – “Putin responds by threatening to take ‘mirror measures’… World War III continues to simmer just beneath the surface of most Americans’ false reality.” – Leo Hohmann

Holly Was Knocked Out By A Black Mob, And Cincinnati’s Leftist Officials Blamed Her – “According to Council Member Victoria Parks, Holly and the other individual attacked (White male) “begged for that beat down.” Let that sink in. The city’s own leadership has defended the mob, not the victims. Even Police Chief Teresa Theetge downplayed the attack. The message from Cincinnati’s woke leadership is loud and clear: lawlessness is tolerated, and victims are to be blamed.” – Tyler Durden

An Inconvenient Black Truth – “Has any majority-white area ever improved after an influx of ghetto Black culture, in terms of quality of life, safety, or community strength? If a bridge design repeatedly collapses, engineers study the materials and blueprints. If crops fail under identical conditions, agriculturalists re-evaluate the soil and technique. Yet in social discourse, the repeated collapse of schools, neighborhoods, and cities is attributed not to the visible behaviors taking place, but to invisible forces like systemic bias or historical trauma. What follows is not speculation. It is an observable, repeated sequence in American life.” – Christopher Arnell  – AN IN DEPTH GOOD READ FROM FROM CHRISTOPHER!!!

Chinese foxes, American sharks, European rodents – “The “BRICS lab” has a non-stop, ever-adapting creative spirit. Beats Tariff dementia everytime.” – Pepe Escobar

Trump’s Lies About His Trade ‘Deals’ – “Does any of them exist, at all? …”because he didn’t “get” his tariff-hikes — he arbitrarily imposed them; no congressional action, and no permission from any foreign country, is involved in any of them, he did (or does) this all by himself, though the U.S. Constitution says that only Congress can pass a tariff into law; – Eric Zuesse

Trump Is Hellbent On Derailing India’s Rise As A Great Power – “If Trump’s tariffs don’t coerce India into becoming a US vassal, which the US would then exploit to coerce concessions from China in advance of its ultimate goal of restoring unipolarity, then he might settle for letting China subordinate India instead as part of the “G2”/“Chimerica” scenario.” – Andrew Korybko

(TARIFF WALL HITS TOMORROW). WHAT IT IS MEANS FOR THE US ECONOMY, MIDDLE-CLASS, MARKETS.(VIDEO) – “I broke this down in detail for you. I even named specific companies which are likely to  get hit by this. Of course, you will be hit by this as well. And it’s not a pretty situation here. And what’s being set up, there’s only one word for this people. It’s diabolic.  The United States is under attack from within. And it’s an incredible thing to witness. ” – Gregory Mannarino – ANOTHER GOOD ONE FROM GREG.

What Do Powell And Bessent Chat About At Breakfast? Trump Or Rising Risks? – “While Trump fumes at Jay Powell for not slashing rates, Scott Bessent is the adult-in-the-room minding the Fed isn’t too battered by the President’s harangues.

Gardening in August (Garden Tasks by Month) – Melissa K. Norris

EMP-Proofing Your Home: Affordable Hardening Against a Massive Solar Flare or Grid Attack – “EMP-proofing your home isn’t some paranoid niche prepper fantasy anymore, it’s a necessary conversation rooted in hard evidence and decades of ignored warnings. Let’s get this straight: electromagnetic pulses (EMPs) are not theoretical. We’ve already had real-world brushes with these events, and next time we might not be so lucky.” – Bob Rodgers

Surviving Is Resisting: A Day in Venezuela – J.G. Martinez D

How Far Can a Drone Fly? (And Why That Should Terrify You) – “Most folks look at a drone and think, “Cool toy,” or maybe “That’d be fun to get aerial shots of my backyard chickens.” What they don’t think is, “How far can that thing go?” or “Who else is using this tech to watch, track, or control?” That’s the real question — because once you know the range, you start seeing the bigger picture.” – Ask A Prepper Staff

Avoiding Mass Vehicular Homicide – “In this article we are not talking about accidental vehicular casualties, and Lord knows there are far too many of them in everyday life. No, we are talking about the deaths and injuries that result from someone deliberately driving a vehicle, statistically usually a car but occasionally a much more deadly and difficult-to-stop truck, into pedestrians either on either side of the street or occasionally in an area or precinct not supposed to be frequented by vehicles at all.” – R.D.J.
